Customize the Android user interface

Last updated: October 28, 2024

This topic describes how to customize the user experience on devices running on Android. Some options are applicable to all claim types, others are specific to Genuine Presence Assurance® (GPA) or Liveness Assurance™ (LA) transactions.

 

You can customize the user experience by passing in an instance of IProov.Options to the launch() function using either IProovCallbackLauncher or IProovFlowLauncher.

Implementation examples: https://github.com/iProov/android#options
